Emmessee Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Anyone see Macca and me go down Sydney Harbour at 30 knots plus of Friday afternoon??? You cannot miss this awesome boat. That would get anyone's pulse racing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xmatelot Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Do they mean a total "celebrity" 4 man crew?, or one invited "celebrity" to make up the numbers on each day?,with the same three or four sailors, similar to the original "challenge" Are they going to have "corrected" times for the possible wind strengths on each run. As I see it ,there is only the one boat here. Lucky guys. pete Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tornado Posted December 3, 2007 Report Share Posted December 3, 2007 Should be something on Sports tonight on channel 10 @ 10.30pm The VX40 took on 2 x Tornadoes (GER and Bundy crewing for Carolijn Brouwer) and 2 18 Skiffs, (Appliances Online and Rang and Famish) Tornadeos smoke the 18s by a big margin as the VX40 did the T's. Talk was the Ts were twice as quick upwind than the 18s whilst also much quicker down. The VX40 could not sail slow enough for the other boats.

Emmessee Posted December 4, 2007 Author Report Share Posted December 4, 2007 Last Friday I would have had plenty of coin on us being faster on one particular leg than the moth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
